Origin & history
Haitian saxophonist Nemours Jean-Baptiste created Konpa in 1955, shaping a smooth, mid-tempo groove out of Haiti's older méringue tradition.
It quickly became Haiti's national sound — the music of celebrations, weddings, and Sunday afternoons — and has traveled with the Haitian diaspora to cities across North America, Europe, and beyond.
